To all rwhom it may eminem: 19 and on the socket 5. At their tree Be it known that l, An'rnun J. Txzn'sr, a ends the arms of the bracket 9 form jaws to citizen of the United States of America, lreguide and grip the arms of the bracket 10. sidin in the' city of New York, borough of For this purpose the ends of the webs arc Broo Yyn, county of Kings, and State of offset to form end flanges 21. Lateral guide 50 New ork, have invented certain new and wings 22. at the sidesof the arms are spaced useful improvements in CandleSockets, of sufficiently from the ends of the flanges 21 which the following is a specification. to form channels in which are received vthe My invention' relates to. candle sockets, edges ot the arms c and d of the bracket 10,

and particularly'to the supporting standard the webs of which lie at right'. angles to the 55 for the lamp receptacle in a socket of this planes of the-'webs c--b of bracket 9. A tyfe. The object of my invention is to proclamping screw 23 passes freely through 'i v1 e a rugged' standard which may be ecothe web a. of the bracket 9 and takes into a .nomcally manufactured, easily installed` tapped hole inthe web l). The jaw forme I 2 bodied in one/form; At the head of the bracket 10 is a scz'e'vjv and readily adjusted to candle casing of by the free ends of the arms of bracket 9 70 different length. A may be thus forced into gripping encragev v In the accompanying drawingsff ment with the edges of the webs c and dof Fig. 1 is a vertical section through a bracket 10. and thus secure the parts tocandle socket in which my invention is emgether rigidly in adjusted position.

Fig. 2 is a perspective of the standard nipple24which maybeeconomically formed alone; and .from the metal of the bracket 25 by a Fig 3 is a perspective ot a modified condrawing and threading operation. The: struction of one end of the standard. nipple 24 takes into a. cooperating nipple 27 2i In fittings of the present type, the lamp carried by a hickey 26 on the base of the` 80 receptacle 5 is spaced from the wire conduit receptacle 5 in the construction shown in 6 by a standard of some type fin order to Fia. 1. present the .lamp (not shown) in proper poln the modification shown in Fig. 3 the sition at the upper end of the candle-like hickey 26 is dispensed with, and attaching "'0 casing? supported in any suitable fashionlugs 28 are struck fromv the webs 'c and 8' e. g.. ofna cup 8 secured at the end of the of the bracket 10 and offset to a position in wire conduit 6. ln its general features the extension o the head ot'. the bracket.y

construction shown is of usual type, and The lugs are pierced at'29 and tapped to rethe present invention relates solely to the ceive the screw bolts v30, which in Figfl standard which has certain features of adserve to secure the hickey to the base of the 90 vantage over those commonly in use. h receptacle.

As shown, the standard comprises a pair The operation of the device is readil of telescopng brackets 9 and 10, adaptedreunderstood. In order to adjust the lengt ectively for connection to the wire conof the standard tothe length of the vcandle 4 duit 6 on the one hand. and to the lamp re- -casinar 7. the screw 3 'is retracted suiciently ceptable 5 on the other hand. Both bracket to release the grip on the arms 0 and d of elements are struck from sheet metal and bracket 10. The latter maybethen adjusted Aformed to. shape. 'The bracket 9 comprises telescopicallv todesired position. an t e a pair of arms a and 7). the webs of which screwv 23 again tightened to force the jaw 15 are integral with and offset in the same of bracket 9 into gripping engagement withl direction from the base 11. yThe lattercarl; the Aedgfes ot webs c and d of bracket 10. ries a bushing 12 adapted to screw on the The flanges 21 and the ,guide wings 22 o. threaded end 13 of the conduit 6 and to lthe iaw serve to maintain the Webs of the clamp the bottom of the cup 8 against tbebracket lllv uniformly spaced.I and insure 5 nut 14. A set screw 15 piercing the nipple their rectilinear movement with respect' to 105 maybe provided to secure tbe bracket in the webs of the bracket 9. The standard is fixed position on the conduit. The bracket readily secured to-th-threaded end of the arms are longitudinally slotted at 16 to afwire conduit 6 by means .ot a screw .nipple ford outlets for the wires 17 and 18. which 12. and to the socket by means otra nipple "5 may thus be freely led to the lbinding screws 24, 0r the supporting arms The line U0 wires are readily carried up through the other bracket, means on one of said brackets .standard4 and may he passed through the for mounting the standard on a conduit end, 3(

2.- A- socket-supporting standard comprisingr a pair of douille-armed*brackets in slid- -above the bracket 9 to permit the exit of mg engagement at their adjacent ends, and 35 the wires at this point. The rectangular structure. of thestandardsecures an exceptional rigidit of support for the lamp receptacle, Whi eat the same time the device -is readily and cheaply manufactured and convenient in service. The wires-are always readily accesslble and may be drawn from having their `lWebs lying in spaced planes at right angles toeach'other, means for forc- 'ing the arms of one of said brackets into gripping engagement with lthe arms of the other bracket. interengaging elements main- 40 taining said ends indetermined slidable relationship tov each other, means on one of the standard in any one ofthe several Ways` said brackets for mounting the standard on mentioned. t v

Various modifcatlons m detall of cona conduit end, and means on the other ,bracket for securing the same to a lamp 45 .struction will readily occur to those skilled receptacle element.

in the art, Without departing from what l claim as my invention.

I claim- A l. .A socket-supporting standard comprising a pair of double-armed brackets in sliding engagement at their'adjacent' ends, and having their webs lying in spaced 4planes at right angles to each other, means for foroing the arms of one 'of said brackets into gripping engagement with the arms of the 3. In a supporting standard for candle sockets. a bracket element having a base and upstanding opposed arms integral therewith, .flanges offset toward each other from the 5"' ends of the armsand lateral Wings on said arms Aenacting with said end flanges to form guide ways.

ln testimony whereof have signed 'my name to this specification'.
